Oscillicious has announced the release of SongStarter, a new standalone tool for creative song-writing, based on a live looping workflow. A free beta is now available for download.

Oscillicious says "In a world of increasingly complicated super workstations, SongStarter takes you back to basics. There's no racks, buses, or chains, so you can focus on pure melody; the joy of song-writing that started you on the path to being a musician in the first place."

With a workflow based on live looping, you can quickly layer up loops using built-in instruments to create the heart of a song. When you're done layering up a great melody, the Instant Export menu allows you to drag and drop export a MIDI of your creation into the most popular DAWs, so you can continue producing your track with the workflow you've already mastered.
